Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I rang the supplier back this arvo and they've decided not to import anything more from that manufacturer in the foreseeable future.
Guess that's why they never got back to me about when the next shipment was due.

Might be a good thing that you found that Chugga.

The supplier I found was going to ring me to let me know when they'd be available.
They never got back to me and I forgot about it. I rang them today but it doesn't sound good.
They're not sure they'll be getting any more stock from that ...

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.
I'll ring the supplier again tomorrow and see if they can get three in.
Or do some of you want passenger side ones too ?

When I checked with suppliers a while back they said give them a list of how many and they'd get them with their next shipment.
It sounded like you guys had it sorted, so I sort of forgot about it. $75 plus delivery is the max they should cost.

I've enjoyed a good laugh here guys, but seeing this thread bumped to the top again made me wonder if anyone ever got their weather shields?

Sorry for getting back on topic.
Please carry on as you were.

And 12" offroad tyres aren't even a problem. Just pinch some off a bobcat.
He needs a better engine though

EDIT: Just looked at quadtrucks.com, very interesting.

Not to mention mine reads under half in about 100km but it stay around there for the next 300km then it will start to drop.

This is another gremlin in these cars as the fuel sender in most the earlier models seems to be dicky

That's interesting, our old car was the opposite. 300km's in the top ...

I was just matching up the part numbers in the Monroe catalogue, and it says "Lowered Commodore Wagons" are the same. No idea why

Bit late I know, but if anyone is still looking this site is good.
Historic Commercial Vehicle Club (hcvc.com.au)

Has anyone been able to download the microcat file lately ?
Both the links in FAQ's are dead.
I've been to WARFS but "search" there shows 0 results for microcat.
Googled heaps but found nothing.
Any ideas ?
19MB wont be hard to download if I can get a link that works.

AJ are you talking front or rear Fez shocks ?

I haven't seen any thing else the same for front ones, but Monroe say some of the back ones are the same as Rocky's, HQ to HZ Holdens, older Monaros, lowered Commodore wagons from 78-97 (incl HSV), CF Bedfords, and Toyota Crown's and Tarago's.
They say ...

Better fix it quick before your clutch goes too.

Monroe and KYB both do standard shocks for Ferozas.

Quick update.
I just tried to order an idler arm in for someone else and the supplier sold their last two yesterday. :x
More due to arrive in December. When they come in, if you think you need one you should probably get it sooner rather than later.
The good news is that idler bushes are available ...

I'd suspect the seals too.
Only other thing I can think of is a crack in the head between an oilway and an exaust port, and you don't want to know about it if that's what's wrong

Done MM, that thread's on page two or three now I think.

EDIT: Here it is

If you still need an idler give me a yell. New ones are available way cheaper than Toyota sells them for.

Just replied to your email Nick
I should track down some suppliers for other F78 parts. They do look very hard to find.
Are there many F78 owners here ?
Think I've seen about 4.

I can't get them as single bushes, only in a kit that has 4 bushes to fix both lower arms.
Give me a yell if that would help.

No Worries.

Aftermarket bushes for idler arms are usually available but are currently out of stock, and it's not known when the next batch will be available.
If you need them straight away I can do some more chasing for someone else who makes them.

Yes ball joint prices are the same for upper or lower.

Sorry I didn't get back here sooner.

Here are the current prices for some stuff to suit Ferozas.

Idler arms $98.45
Ball Joints $70.40
Tie Rod Ends $69.85
Pitman Arms $88.00

If you need other stuff I'll see what I can find for you.



You can email me, or ring me on 0428 648858

Just got ball joint prices for "mrpham", about half the Daihatsu price. Not sure about tie rod prices, I'll have to ring tomorrow.

Are you guys still having trouble getting parts at decent prices ? If so give me a yell.
Stocks are limited but $100 idler arms are available.

parts@ripperspares.com

Thanks for the shameless plug Rocky :)

If you want genuine Daihatsu ball joints then $200 ish is about right.

The ones I sell have a 3 Year or 100,000km replacement warranty if they're fitted by a licenced mechanic.

Give me a yell if you think I can help with anything else. I'll do what I can ...

Thanks Chunks.

Just wondering if anyone has used Phoenix filters, or knows anything about them.
I'm wondering if they mainly sell to mobs who rebrand them.

This is their web site
http://www.phoenixfilters.com.au/profile.asp

"Completed listings" only stay there for 2 weeks.
If you want to keep a listing that's ended, sometimes the "watch this item" option is still there if you click on the "bids" link. You can also use "email to a friend" and just send it to yourself.

Found a couple of people who can make up the cables, but no luck with the clips yet.

I can probably get them for you, although I'm not near Newcastle.
I'll make some enquiries and get back to you tomorrow.
